INSTALLATION GUIDES
CAUTION: Before any installation or cable connection to the set, please
always make certain that the system is turned off and the
external power source to the set is removed to prevent electric
hazard! Never touch any metal pin in the connectors or
circuits to avoid high voltage hazard or electrostatic discharge
damage unless the operator is well grounded. Failure to do the
above will void the product warranty!
TECHNICAL MANEUVERS
Applicable technical maneuvers in KS-6812 series include serial
COM port power supply settings, VGA port power supply setting, system
CMOS data reset, DRAM upgrades, physical access to CF memory card if the
CF card reader option is installed and installation of optional SATA HDD in
base. All these technical maneuver operations require purchase of applicable
Technical Manual from Posiflex or consultation from Posiflex authorized
dealers and should be handled only by a qualified technician.
TILTING LCD PANEL
The tilting mechanism in KS-6812 series utilizes
hinges and there is no particular skill to turn the LCD panel to
most suitable angle for either viewing or convenience in cable
connection / disconnection.
DISCONNECTING ALL CABLES
With the LCD panel turned to most backward position, the main I/O
connector area will be easily accessible at bottom side of the main unit. Please
first note orientations of every existing cable connection and then
disconnect every cable properly before any further reconfiguration of cable
connections. Please note that the click lock spring has to be pressed down prior
to pulling out the connector such as the LAN port or the CR port or the
alternate RJ45 form COM3 port. Please also note that the fixing screws have to
be loosened free prior to disconnection such as the 2 regular DB9 form COM
ports or the VGA port. Please always hold the connector head instead of
pulling on the cable wire when disconnecting any connector. Failure to do this
could damage the cable and jack that is considered as an artificial destruction.
Damages due to incorrect disconnection operation are not covered by
product warranty!
Part 7
OPENING BASE BACK COVER
In order to settle the
touch terminal properly in a
point of sale system, all the
cable connections have to be
routed through its base.
Therefore, please observe
the side view pictures of the base trunk at the left and release the triangle
marked hooks to remove the back cover.
CABLE ROUTING IN BASE
For cable routing in the mini slim base,
please refer to the picture at left. There is a cable
tie inside the base trunk as arrowed in the picture.
Hold all the external cables with the cable tie.
Have all cables to pass through the oval hole on
the trunk as triangle marked to come out of the
front side of trunk. Connect all the cable ends to
main unit. Should there is the option SATA HDD
in base installed, please double check that the
HDD cables must be still secured.
BASE MOUNT UPGRADE KIT (OPTION)

For the KS-6812 series with
mini slim base, the LCD customer
display PD-309/U or the VFD PD-
2605/U can be attached to either rear
corner of base bottom. Refer to the
pictures at right. Use the 3 attached
screws to fix the metal base plate of the PD to bottom
plate of mini slim base at the circled positions (the
holes marked with “KS” on bottom plate of PD against
the holes marked “P” on bottom plate of KS system).
Connect the interface cable to go into the base through
cable exit arrowed at right to the main unit.
Part 8
PREPARING THE MAIN UNIT
On the back of the main unit, there is a
service window facing the base trunk in most of
application. It is recommended to tilt the LCD panel
to most backward position and rest the surface of
LCD panel over a piece of soft clean cloth on a
desktop to access the service window. Use a screw
driver of adequate length to remove the service window
lock screw to open the cover plate and find several
jumpers as illustrated in the lower right picture. The
jumpers in this window are mainly designated for
COM port power supply function. Please consult your
dealer for technical support on setup of these jumpers.
Please note that only those qualified technicians may
adjust in the service window with information from
Posiflex and the contents in the service window may
change without notice as time develops. The option LPT
conversion cable should be applied to the connector as triangle marked in the
picture. Route the other end of the conversion cable through the oval opening
in base trunk and have the usual cable for parallel device connected.
SIDE MOUNT UPGRADE KIT (OPTION)
Remove the 2 screws circled in
the left picture to remove the cover for
side mount upgrade kit. Take out the
cable inside this cover and connect it to
the white connector inside the side
mount upgrade kit like SD-680 as
arrowed in the right picture. Gently
arrange the excessive length of this cable
back in the hole and screw-fit it back to
the position originally occupied by the cover. Please
reserve the cover if there is chance to have the side mount kit removed in the
future.
CONNECTING CASH DRAWER (OPTION)
The RJ11 connector in main connection area of a KS-6812 system can
be used for controlling most of the common cash drawers available on the
market. However, it is most recommended that the Posiflex CR-2000 or CR-
2200 or CR-3100 or CR-3200 or CR-4000 or CR-4100 or CR-4210 or CR-
6310 be used for best compliance.
Service Window
Lock Screw
Jumpers
Part 9
The KS system will directly control the cash drawer using the cash
drawer port (CR) both to operate the opening mechanism and to monitor the
drawer open status. Both functions may be accomplished under software
control of the COM1 serial port.
Use the cable supplied with the cash drawer (Part No. 21863018010)
for connection to the CR port in KS system. This cable has a 6-pole plug at one
end and an 8-pole plug at the other. The 8-pole plug should be inserted into the
connector marked: “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of the cash
drawer. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked “CR
found in the main connection area in the system.
The user may also purchase the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control
cable (Part No. 218630023800) to control 2 cash drawers in 1 port. It has a 6-
pole plug at one end and two 8-pole plugs at the other. The 6-pole plug should
be inserted in the connector marked “CR” found in the main connection area in
the system. Each 8-pole plug should be inserted into the connector marked
signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of one of the cash drawers. The
cable lengths for the two 8-pole plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the
original cash drawer “CR1” and use the longer one for the extended cash
drawer “CR2” that will be distinguished by the software command.
CONNECTING CABLES
To have the re-assembled main unit with stand assembly ready for
operation, please connect all required cables to the appropriate connectors.
Please make sure that each connector is connected to the correct port with the
correct orientation. Damages due to incorrect connection or orientation are
not covered by product warranty!
Some connectors like the COM3 or LAN or CR connector have to be
gently inserted until a click is heard. It is recommended that connectors such as
the COM1/2 and VGA connector be screwed into place once seated.
Adjust the slack of each cable. Re-adjust the tilt angle of the screen
for best viewing.
Connect the cables to appropriate external devices through the cable
exit at the bottom of stand assembly. Please make sure that each connector has
to be connected to the right device in the right way.
CAUTION: On doing any insertion or extraction of any connector, please
always hold the connector head itself instead of pulling on the
cable wire. Failure to do this could damage the cable and jack
that is considered as an artificial destruction and is not
covered by the warranty.
Part 10
OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY
For KS-6812 systems with operating system in the Compact Flash
Card if the system is installed with the CF card reader, once the Compact Flash
is damaged for any reason, the thin client may fail to boot. A bootable new
Compact Flash Card will be required to have the workstation back to
work. Please follow instructions given by the System Integrator to deal with
situations like that. One more advice for CF Card application is that in spite of
the fact that it is used in the way like an ordinary HDD, usual utilities such as
FDISK.EXE or FORMAT.COM shall never be used on CF Card
otherwise the boot sector of operating system itself may be damaged and
causing the CF Card no longer bootable.
For KS-6812 systems preloaded with Windows XP Pro or WEPOS on
HDD, Posiflex provides recovery DVD delivered with the touch terminal for
the preloaded operating system. The System Integrator shall take care of
software restoration after OS recovered. A Posiflex supplied USB interface
COMBO drive will be required for such action. Other brand COMBO drive
may require its specific driver different from what supported in the recovery
DVD.
Please use the recovery DVD in rescue operation only. Using it
otherwise may wipe out whatever stored in the HDD! All upgrade devices
drivers needed for manual installation in usual way are available in the
subfolder “\drivers” in OS recovered HDD and the latest versions of these
required drivers will be available on our web: http://www.posiflex.com.tw
.
Then follow instructions from your system integrator for software recovery.
OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This product is a highly professionalized equipment. The installation
of an OS into a machine without any preloaded OS could constitute major
difficulty for average user or obstacle by possibly unintentional negligence
even for PC veterans to accomplish such a task. Therefore, OS installation into
a system without preloaded OS is highly discouraged. Posiflex shall not be
responsible for any technical support to questions arisen due to non-preloaded
OS.
Part 11
USING THE TOUCH TERMINAL
APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT
It is very important that you check the following operational
guidelines:
Ventilation
This terminal must NOT be operated in an environment with
restricted ventilation. There must be at least 25 mm air clearance around any
top or side ventilation holes with a free flow of air around the unit at ALL
times for the installation.
Operating Environment
The equipment must not be operated or stored in extremes of both
temperature and humidity/moisture. (Operating range 5°C to 40°C and up to
80% humidity – non condensing, max. wet bulb 26C)
Power Supply
The operating voltage range of the power adaptor should cover the
local power supply for proper operation. The power cable, the power outlet
and any power fusing arrangements must conform to local safety regulations.
Please never do any connection / disconnection when system is still
powered on. Please always keep the external power adaptor in a free air
circulation.
POWER ON/OFF CONTROL
Power Indicator
There is a power indicator LED at center of lower rim of LCD panel.
This LED lights up orange when external power is ready and turns to blue
when system power is turned ON.
Hardware Power Switch
The power switch located at left side of the
main unit is a tactile pushbutton switch. This switch
controls the power on/off of the system. This switch
turns the system on when pushed only when external
power is present. This switch turns the system off
when pushed again during power on status. However,
if the system hangs due to any reason such as
software resource conflict a simple push on the
switch may fail to turn off the power. In this case,
please utilize the forced power off feature by pressing the switch and holding
Part 12
for within 10 seconds.
There must always be at least 10 seconds waiting before switching on

user should enter the BIOS setup by pressing “Del” key at system boot up,
choose in “Power Management Setup” and make the Power On by Ring”
enabled for Modem Ring Up or enable the “Resume by Alarm” for Alarm
Clock Wake Up. Save the configuration and exit the BIOS setup program. The
Preset Power On Control will then be ready. For LAN wakeup, the item “PCI
Express PM Function” must be enabled in “Power Management Setup” and an
operating caller system connected through LAN to the system is required. It
also requires a qualified networking technician to check the LAN chip ID of
the system for the caller system to wake up.
When the KS-6812 system is turned off after a successful boot up
with external power continuously supplied, the preset automatic power on
functions will keep monitoring for the preset conditions and turn on the system
when the preset conditions are met.
Please note that if the KS-6812 system is improperly turned off before
a complete boot up procedure, the above preset power on control functions will
be disabled until next turning off after a complete boot up.

SERIAL PORTS – COM1/2/3
In KS-6812 system, there are 3 serial ports available. All can supply a
+5 V DC through pin 9 after proper jumper setting change. COM1/2 ports are
standard RS232 serial ports as status at delivery. COM3 is also set to standard
RS232 serial port as status at delivery if the option conversion cable is applied.
PARALLEL PORT
In KS-6812 system, the parallel port can be available only through
use of the optional conversion cable. It should be connected to the special
connector inside the service window as described earlier. The other end of the
cable is the normal 25 pin D sub female LPT connector.
AUDIO OUTPUT SPEAKER
The audio port in KS-6812 system is arranged to have an internal
audio speaker with maximum audio power of 2 W at lower left corner of the
main unit. The internal speaker will be automatically disconnected when a
plug is inserted in the line output jack.
HIDDEN MICROPHONE (OPTION)
This option will be installed inside the lower right corner of the bezel
for high sensitivity audio input if ordered.
Part 14
CF MEMORY CARD READER
If the CF card reader is installed and the CF card is used for system
data storage device, it is recognized by the system as the IDE channel 1 Master
device. The CF memory card reader inside main unit accepts a type II CF
memory card. Please note that usual utilities such as FDISK.EXE or
FORMAT.COM must never be used on CF card or permanent damage
can occur. If this option is installed, the standard SATA HDD in main unit is
not applicable.
HDD & SATA PORT
The 2.5” HDD in the main unit is connected to the system through
internal Serial ATA (SATA) connector. The optional HDD in the base unit if
installed is connected to the system through SATA port. The internal SATA
HDD will be detected as “Ch. 0 M.” and the HDD connected to the SATA port
will be detected as “Ch. 0 S.” in “Advanced BIOS Features” ÆHard Disk
Boot Priority” of BIOS setup. Both IDE or SATA controller can be set to
“Disabled” in “Integrated Peripherals” Æ “OnChip IDE Device” of BIOS
setup when required. Both are set to IDE mode for data transfer.
TOUCH PANEL
All paragraphs below are applicable for models with touch panel only.
The user of those models without touch panel can ignore them and consider
this user’s manual ends here.
Mouse Emulation
The touch panel in KS system uses USB interface. When the touch
driver is properly installed, this touch panel works exactly like a standard
mouse of USB interface. However, if the system is running under safe mode,
most drivers are disabled in this mode and the touch panel calibration is
therefore not guaranteed. It is recommended to use a standard USB mouse or
keyboard in this mode.
All the below mentioned mouse emulation functions can be
manipulated through relevant software. The system can give a beep and a click
on the left button of a mouse at the point when the touch panel is touched. If
the point touched is dragged across the screen surface, it works as the mouse
drag and drop feature. If the point is touched, released and touched within a
short time interval, it is double-clicking left button of the mouse. To obtain the
effect like clicking on the right button of a mouse, touching any point on the
screen surface after touching the right-click sticky button results as a click on
the right button of the mouse at that point.
Part 15
Posiflex USB Touch Manager
A program named “Posiflex USB Touch Manager” and a right-click
sticky button tool in the program group “Posiflex USB Touch Tools” is
installed in the preloaded Windows system with a USB interface touch panel
controller. This program can also be obtained by download from the
POSIFLEX web site.
